I just read an article on sleep deprivation and how it affects your metabolism....WOW...what an eye opener!!!

thank you I was wondering the same thing....just joined the site and discovered ....I was in starvation mode.....no wonder I got heavy!!!...now I am struggling to eat what they say I should eat for calories ....and hoping I do not gain!!!

maybe your body is too used to the same exercises ....try a bike ride or go take a hike on a tough terrain.....I have always been told that if you hit a plateau to ......up the amount of exercise by just 5 to 10 min...and have another glass of water!

Don't give up....their is always upper body low impact aerobics that you can do while sitting on a chair.....Just cause you have an injury does not mean you need to give up on yourself......I have a 9 herniated discs in my back...walk with a cane and have a 10# lifting limit......come on ...you can do this....we will do it…

Brand new ...first day on....they tell me I am not eating enough....so I guess I will up my intake and pray I do not gain!
